Brian Mulroney, already the subject of an inquiry investigating bribes distributed by a dubious arms dealer, appointed Iacobucci to the Supreme Court of Canada. Harper, deftly trying to avoid an embarassing and potentially fatal inquiry investigation, asks the now retired Iacobucci to conduct an "investigation" into providing documents that Iacobucci simply KNOWS Parliament has the legal right to see. If a former Supreme Court justice can be taken for a ride by Harper, is it any wonder that Harper can do whatever the hell he wants with the Canadian people?CommonCentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-91461340356946456142010-03-07T07:49:52.338-08:002010-03-07T07:49:52.338-08:00Scott, I expect he'll be made a Privy Councill...Scott, I expect he'll be made a Privy Councillor if SCC judges aren't in any case (not sure of that). Also, bear in mind that FI won't be examining docs in his capacity as a judge, he's retired from the bench. However I understand he has returned to practice so it's conceivable he's been retained on a solicitor-client basis. That, in turn, opens another whole can of worms and ethical considerations.<br /><br />Of course Mr. Harper could always put the core questions to the SCC on a reference but he won't because he already knows the answers and is furiously trying to avoid them.<br /><br />As far as I can tell this is all a stunt to play to Harper's base and any Canadians gullible enough to buy Harper's wailing about national security.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-17791468661583783202010-03-07T05:41:08.344-08:002010-03-07T05:41:08.344-08:00Well put, MoS.Well put, MoS.JimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-81920855678395760032010-03-06T21:11:33.559-08:002010-03-06T21:11:33.559-08:00What gets me, yes Iacobucci is highly esteemed, bu...What gets me, yes Iacobucci is highly esteemed, but legally he is an ordinary citizen, so how can the Conservatives let him see documents that could pose a threat to national security, and not 308 MPs who have currently sworn oaths to this country and their duties?thescottross.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08632822060893291800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-70297613145493403052010-03-06T13:05:17.279-08:002010-03-06T13:05:17.279-08:00Gee Willy, thanks very much for the kind words.
